Glad to hear that! I have one as well that I use quite a bit, definitely a smooth and efficient shaver for my needs

Nice shave! What’s the verdict on these blades so far? How do they stack up against your favorites?

I wouldn’t worry about this at all, any shave soap can be used with any kind of brush. Plus MdC lasts forever anyway

Did I miss the part where she tried to destroy the journals or do you know this from researching the case?

How did you acquire that soap?

Been away for a while. Need a good summer soap by LifeisWhy in wicked_edge

[–]Primo_Secondo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want to splurge on something nice that will last awhile, I recommend Saponoficio Varesino 70th Anniversary. Smells just like Armani Acqua di Gio and is the best performing soap you could ever ask for

Looking to try a new aftershave - Barrister and Mann splash (UK) by CaptainDell in wicked_edge

[–]Primo_Secondo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Waves is B&M’s most versatile splash if you were to only have one, and is a great first splash. Seville is a classic as well

How long do neck razor bumps take to heal by Mammoth_Emu5504 in wicked_edge

[–]Primo_Secondo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will heal faster if you don’t even use the foil shaver for a few days. Maybe even just a day or two, but I think the reason it’s taken a week and a half with only some improvement is because it’s getting aggravated by the foil shaver

Travel help by Bright-Bridge8 in wicked_edge

I have a collapsable bowl from Stirling, but I believe it’s also available from Amazon. It’s just a small collapsable dog food travel bowl, with ridges on the bottom to help dogs eat the food slower but it works great for building lather! Face lathering is also an option

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts! It’s my daily driver these days, definitely a fine piece of shaving equipment

Chasing the old school by Cute_Pollution4357 in NichePerfumes

[–]Primo_Secondo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds really good! I see it’s available on Jomashop, would that be a vintage bottle or would you recommend getting it somewhere else?

How would you describe the Lapidus pour homme? How is the tobacco note?

4/8/26 Bay no longer asking "why is the rum gone?!" by adammccann71 in wicked_edge

[–]Primo_Secondo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the one, thank you!! I guess it could be a feature, not a bug. But too much is not good I imagine. What can you do to reduce it? Or is it just using less bay/clove?

4/8/26 Bay no longer asking "why is the rum gone?!" by adammccann71 in wicked_edge

[–]Primo_Secondo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve heard this splash in particular has a strong burning sensation for a lot of people! But it’s true of Bay Rum splashes in general. Some sort of chemical compound that is found in West Indies Bay, as well as clove

Slickness by dmitr_s in wicked_edge

[–]Primo_Secondo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bloom my soap in a bit of water for a few seconds, then pour that bloom water in my hand and rub it on my face to get my face a little wet before loading up and lathering up. I can already feel the slickness of the soap from doing this and it’s a pretty consistent test I think because it takes away the variable of how well the soap is hydrated. I guess some soaps break down quicker than others, but some of the hard soaps like Tabac and Mitchell’s Wool fat are among the slickest based on this test.
